Missouri 79 will be receiving a new concrete driving surface from Route T at Hannibal to Route E near Saverton this fall.

Exactly 100 area residents attended an informational meeting on June 25 at A.D. Stowell Elementary School where they listened to brief presentations and were able view maps, outlines of the schedule and how drivers would be impacted. Representatives from MoDOT and Chester Bross Construction were available to answer questions about the upcoming project.

According to Paula Gough, MoDOT’s Northeast District engineer, the mainline lanes will be resurfaced with 5-inch thick concrete. The shoulders will be paved and designated as bike lanes.

Work is scheduled to begin the week of July 8 and should be completed by mid to late September. The project was awarded to Chester Bross Construction Co., Inc. of Hannibal at a cost of $4,418,953.
